Some Men Who Were Visitors in
st Paul Yesterday.

st Paul Yesterday.
K. III. BLY,, proprietor of the Sheridan
| house, Bismarck, OAK, was at the Mer-
chants yesterday. Mr.. Bly, is one of the
oldest and most successful landlords of
| the Northwest, and rumor in the Mis-
souri, river valley says that he is worth
a round half million dollars. He will
| be remembered as the man who was
bOycotted by the Legislators who met
| in Bismarck last winter, because he
charged them transient rates for ac-
| cOmmodations at his hotel. They
| thought that $40 per week would be
enough but Mr.. BLY, insisted on collecting
- per day straight. This drove ma
| lority of the boarderS out and he used to
tenderly refer to them as boosters board
ing themselves in claim shackS and
doing their own washing. He came to
time finally and gave the Legislators
$40 rate, but he charged them extra for
the use of rooms where committee
meetings were held. He had
bill drawn appropriating him S150 for
room rent, and both houses passed it.
A few days later somebody presented a
bill charging Bly, $50 for the use of
steam and water in the basement where
he had located bar and restaurant
without permission, and the bill passed
in this way a balance was struck. 1t
was a continual fight between the legis-
lature and BLY, from beginning to end,
but when that body adjourned there
was no ill feeling between them. Mr.. Bly,,
who has been q sufferer for some time
with rheumatism, is now on his way
East for treatment and a rest.
Z. +. Carpenters diaper figure was
noticed i'll the rotunda of the Merchants
| yesterday. Mr.. Carpenter is editor and
proprietor of the Pennington Express,
right lively paper, and he may be
| styled Pennington enthusiast from the
| word go. He said yesterday that nego-
tiations were pending between the man
ayers of the Milwaukee road and
some of the leading citizens of
Pennington whereby the latter
were to be given the benefit of COM
mutation tickets between Pennington
and st. Paul, He said the scheme was
a sure CO. and it would have the effect
| OF taking good many st. Paul business
men down there to live during the sum
mer months. He claimed that several
We're already there. There are six
trains day between Pennington and
St Paul. A person can reach this city
at 7::3O O'Clock a. N. after an hours
ride, and can leave here on the return
at 4:30. The Pennington citizens are

Among the men who lolled around the
Merchants veranda yesterday, en-
deayoring to keep cool, was J. G. NJ
gent. Mr.. Nugent is politician from
Buffalo, where the enjoys the distinc-
ton of being sheriff. He says he is no
relation to jim Nugent, the license col
lectOr, but he INDUCES in the same
business sometimes. He came down
to see that the interests of Buffalo Lake
were well taken care of in the Squabble
for the reform school.
j. ID. Strait, of Shakopee, was at the
| Merchants yesterday. He is brother
of Congressman Strait and is a mer-
chant, He left his business and came
down to see if he couldn't make
| arrangements to have the reform school
located in his town.
Lieut.. Gov. Rice, of Willmar, was at
the Merchants yesterday. He said he
was here on business, but it didn't per-
tain to the location of the reform school,
Mile Bunnell, the rotund editor of
the Duluth Herald, came up from La
Crosse and spent the day in st. Paul.
He went to LA Crosse to see the Duluth
men play base ball. and said
he intended to leave Monday night,
but after one defeat he thought
he would stay and see his
fayorites win game. Life was too
short, however. He said the death of
| AXE by drowning, was one of those acct
| dents which seem, after they occur, to
have been unnecessary, as had the ball
player simply have chung to the boat he
could have been rescued in short
time. When it was found that the body
was not easily recovered, Manager Lu-
cas- had Cancelled the game with Des
Moines, which was to have been played
to-day, as it seemed not the square thing
| to hurry the team away from La Crosse
| without making a decent effort to re-
cover the body of the dead man. Bun
nell said that Jay Anderson, of Duluth,
left La Crosse yesterday for the East,
where he will try to secure a couple of
good players to strengthen the Zenith
| City team. The Duluth team, he said,
had been playing in hard luck from the
start, and there seemed to. be some
''hoodoo" that disabled all the good men
as soon as they got fairly down to work
X. p. Camden, of West Virginia, and a
| nephew of ex-senator Camden, arrived
in st. Paul yesterday from the
| East. He said that the people of West
Virginia are perfectly satisfied with the
reelection of Charles j. Faulkner
by the legislature as successor to Sen
| ator Camden, and he was also accept
| able to the gentleman who preceded him
| III GiiC Hdtiolldl lcSlSldluTe. 10 Dc
sure, Uncle John was disappointed in
not being returned" said MIR. Camden,
"but he has accepted the situation and
will give the new senator his heartiest
support in everything that relates to
West Virginia or its interests. BY the
way, L have seen it stated that the new
| senator was Il sort of reSurrected corpse.
| reference being made to the fact that he
| was formerly minister to France, and
had been dug up as a last resort of the
| Camden men. Mr.. Faulkner is son of
! eX-Minister Faulkner, and during his
fathers lifetime he affixed ''.Jr." to his
name. He is a good organizer and very
| popular with the young men of West
Virginia, and will do a great deal to-
wards bringing about harmony between
| the existing factions and placing West
Virginia in the Democratic column
| where she belongs. Lucas will not get
| the seat he covetS so much in the United
| senate chamber, no matter what NAV be
| promised, for his selection by the GOV
ernor. has been nullified by the recent
action of the legislature, and his ease
will be thrown out of court as soon as
| presented"
